Test drove a Model 3 yesterday.

Quicksilver RWD, 18” wheels & black interior. Placed my order, but it’s showing Jan 1 to 6. Hoping for sooner, but who knows? OK, December 30th it’s all mine! While I wait, what is the largest Coleman or Igloo cooler that will fit in the rear trunk? My new Igloo 70qt. is just a tad too larger.

Good thing you didn’t test a performance

The performance is for younger, more exciting drivers than me. Us old Grampas just want to be chauffered around.

Why’s that?

I made that mistake. Went there looking at a model y (back in 2024 pre juniper) and the ride quality was just so bad. Tried a model 3 and it was a lot smoother. Decided to sleep on it and went back for another test drive and they just had the performance and holy hell I was immediately sold on it. I drive this thing everywhere and it’s just so damn smooth. I can’t imagine driving any EV that’s not a performance model anymore. Already thinking about which one I’ll get a model x or s plaid once my lease is out.

It’s literally in the name

Did you get the refresh or pre refresh model? Currently debating myself 🙏

Refresh. Absolutely worth it. Pre refresh was just as bad as the pre refresh model y. Terrible suspension, horrible seats.

30k in my pocket was the reason I bought a one year used standard over a new performance back in ‘24. Can’t regret that.

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm off to Texas in the morning and will pick up my Quicksilver Model 3 on Saturday. Pretty excited.

Picked up my Model 3 Saturday and it drove me home to Arkansas on Sunday. FSD was amazing! I was less tired than on any trip before. Took my wife to lunch and shopping today and she now understands why I bought it. 800 miles in 3 days and my Happy Taxi is doing great.
